Since then, the criteria used to diagnose schizophrenia have changed considerably. This book presents evidence that the term has little scientific justification, and should be abandoned. Though I believe that the term ‘schizophrenia’ is a label that does more harm than good, I don’t believe that “mental illness doesn’t exist”. On the contrary, I believe that some degree of mental illhealth is close to ubiquitous. Delusions are widespread and affect most people to some degree – delusions are actively propagated by the mass-media, by political and religious organizations and, for that matter, the holy books of different religions. Delusions are inflicted on children by their parents and teachers; though some of what is taught is true and correct, some is not – such incorrect information, however widely held, remains delusional. The treatment of delusions by the psychiatry profession is centred on drugs rather than counseling. It is difficult for a profession that is profoundly deluded itself to remedy delusions though talk therapies. In reality, the psychiatry profession focuses on convincing patients that they suffer from incurable mental illnesses – by this token, accepting that one has schizophrenia is regarded as “gaining insight”. It is a widely held doctrine in psychiatry that people with ‘schizophrenia’ and ‘mania’ are notorious for “lack of insight” – in other words they do not regard themselves as mentally ill until they are convinced that they are by the psychiatry profession and its agents. The coercive nature of psychiatry results in people being punished by incarceration and injections until and unless they accept that they have such incurable mental illness (and agree to take drugs ‘volunatrily’). There is no greater insult than to be told that one has a sick mind. The colloquialism of a ‘sick mind’ is synonymous with evil. It also supposes that the mainstream of thinking is 5 ‘healthy’, while those who hold contrary beliefs are deluded. Yet the mainstream remains deluded about many things. Only a fool believes everything on television. One needs to be naïve in the extreme to think that there are no vested interests involved in what is televised and promoted as true by the ‘mainstream’. Delusional thinking is but one of several characteristics of ‘schizophrenia’. The other important criterion for the diagnosis of schizophrenia is hallucinations, especially auditory hallucinations. Bleuler’s initial formulation for the label included auditory hallucinations, and this was stressed in the 1959 re-formulation of schizophrenia by the German psychiatrist Kurt Schneider in his list “first rank symptoms”. Though antipsychotic drugs (and SSRI antidepressants) can sometimes cause hallucinations, it seems likely that low doses of antipsychotic drugs can reduce auditory hallucinations, and have a place in their treatment. It is also important, though, to address the various environmental causes of hallucinations, rather than relying on such drugs in the long term. The fact that people do experience hallucinations at times does not justify the label of schizophrenia. Instead, certain people may be said to have a tendency to auditory hallucinations – this avoids the stigma of the terms “schizophrenia” and “mental illness”. The other term that is often used in reference to schizophrenia is that of “psychosis”. Though this is a pathologisation of the Greek for “process” (-osis), which in this case is taken to mean “disease process”, the word psychosis is usually interpreted as being “out of touch with reality”. But who is to be the judge of reality? And can we be sure that the psychiatry profession and medical profession (more broadly) are “in touch with reality”? 6 SCHIZOPHRENIA AND DELUSIONS Delusions are regarded as typical symptoms of the supposedly incurable mental illness termed “schizophrenia”. This is claimed, in psychiatric texts, to be a serious brain disease that affects about one percent of the world’s population: about 60 million people. Of these, 5 to 15 percent (3 to 9 million people, mostly under the age of 40) are predicted to commit suicide. This usually is said to be an unavoidable consequence of the illness, and not a consequence of diagnosis and treatment. Like other medical and scientific assumptions, such claims by the psychiatry profession must be critically examined and rejected if logically unsound. Given that iatrogenic (treatment-induced) illness exists, and the mechanisms by which medical diagnosis and treatment can cause illness and death are well established, it is surely necessary that we look carefully at all areas of contemporary psychiatric practice for flaws, and correct any situations in which illness is being created rather than cured. This is especially

    49th Annual Meeting of the American Osler Society Sir William Osler, quoting Leigh Hunt, “Abou Ben Adhem” Sunday, May 12th – Wednesday May 15th, 2019 Hotel Omni Mont-Royal Montréal, Canada Hotel Omni Mont-Royal 49th Annual Meeting of the AMERICAN OSLER SOCIETY Sunday, May 12th – Wednesday, May 15th, 2019 Hotel Omni Mont-Royal Montréal, Canada Credit: Karen Koshof The Osler Niche contains the ashes of Sir William Osler and Lady Osler, as well as those of Osler’s dear cousin and first Librarian of the Osler Library, W.W. Francis. The Niche was designed with Osler’s wishes in mind. Its realization was not far off the vision imagined by Osler’s alter ego Egerton Yorrick Davis in “Burrowings of a Bookworm”: I like to think of my few books in an alcove of a fire-proof library in some institution that I love; at the end of the alcove an open fire-place and a few easy chairs, and on the mantelpiece an urn with my ashes and my bust or portrait through which my astral self, like the Bishop at St. Praxed’s, could peek at the books I have loved, and enjoy the delight with which kindred souls still in the flesh would handle them. Course Objectives Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to: Describe new research findings in the history of medicine. Outline the evolution of medicine in a particular disease. List professional contributions made by others in medicine. Intended Audience The target audience includes physicians and others interested in Osler, medical history and any of the medically oriented humanities who research and write on a range of issues.

Stahnisch (Guest Editor)1 Abstract: The processes of long-term migration of physicians and scholars affect both the academic migrants and their receiving environments in often dramatic ways. On the one side, their encounter confronts two different knowledge traditions and personal values. On the other side, migrating scientists and academics are also confronted with foreign institutional, political, economic, and cultural frameworks when trying to establish their own ways of professional knowledge and cultural adjustments. The twentieth century has been called the century of war and forced migration: it witnessed two devastating World Wars, which led to an exodus of physicians, scientists, and academics. Nazism and Fascism in the 1930s and 1940s, forced thousands of scientists and physicians away from their home institutions based in Central and Eastern Europe.
